Reuters: Security forces fire on protesters in Baghdad's Green Zone
Security forces fired tear gas and live bullets on Friday at protesters who stormed into Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, according to a Reuters witness and live video.
Witnesses said dozens of people were injured. The protesters included supporters of powerful Shi'ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and people from other groups who are displeased with the government's failure to approve anti-corruption reforms and provide security.
The Reuters witness said the protesters had tried to reach the cabinet building but were stopped at the gate. They chanted: "Oh army, the country is hurt! Don't side with the corrupt!"
